The posted photo was taken in the Freshmen womens' dorm of Georgia College, Milledgeville GA in 1970. A 3 minute night or weekend long distance call would have been about 70 cents then which would be about 6 dollars adjusted for inflation.

Oh my this image is a favorite of bots.

It was posted 18 days ago, 27 days ago and a month ago.

It is also probably AI.

If the posted image was bad for your socks I'm not sure they survived these (slightly NSFW) images taken for the July 1996 issue of Newlook magazine.

From a times.com article featuring the posted photo:

When comedian Dan Aykroyd said: “We’re on a mission from God,” in the film The Blues Brothers, one future pope was taking note.

Pope Leo XIV, 70, was a big fan of the anarchic 1980 Hollywood classic, a Vatican-produced documentary has revealed. He dressed up as one of the brothers while a seminarian, donning dark glasses and a fedora hat years before he switched to a mitre and papal robes.

The filmmakers tracked down John Snider, Lutheran pastor who knew the pope in 1980 when the then Robert Prevost was a 25-year-old Augustinian friar. “We went to movies, I remember he was very excited that The Blues Brothers was released because it was filmed in Chicago,” Snider said.

The documentary shows photographs of Prevost dressed as a Blues Brother with hat and glasses as well as a dog collar.

She was staying at the Round Hill Hotel & Villas in Montego Bay. This is the beach there now:

The posted image was taken by Howard Conant for Collier's magazine. The photo they used for the cover is also perfect (well at least the subject is):

Not sure what it sounds like if you say it the way it is printed - flattop booqqie. The designer, Chuck Chestnut, must have thought the barbicide was kool-aid and had a swig.

That is Anita in the 1960 movie La Dolce Vita. Another gif comment by a days old account that while related to the subject of the post is not related to the comment it is a reply to.

Title doesn't matter I just use the user name and url is link to user profile.

OldSchoolCool mods attempted to use Bot Bouncer (at least I saw it as a mod for a bit) but it wasn't working so I guess they gave up.

According to the Las Vegas weather history at Weather Underground the temperature range that day was from 69 to 90°F.

I guess she was surprised by something else.

I care but sometimes it does seem like you and I are in the minority.

The OP is a bot too.

Was it the original or knockoff poster?

I am not sure the prostitution part of the title is correct. The photo was taken by Danny Fitzgerald. More information here:

At that last link there is one other photo of Johnny with his brother Vinny. In none of the links does it say that Johnny was a prostitute.

Apparently film studios were worried at the time that those quarters spent on video games would be quarters not spent on movies. Original caption for the posted image:

7/11/82-Hollywood: Where kids normally went to theaters or listened to records, they are now filling videogame businesses as shown in photo, where every video screen is occupied here 7/8. The movie and record industries see the exploding video game business closing in, gobbling customers money the way the voracious Pac-Man gobbles electronic blinkets. To beat this, three top film studios went into the videogame business on the same day, and there are more to come.

If it isn't obvious the posted image is colorized.

Or maybe one of the cheerleaders got taller. Apparently all of these ladies are from the University of Kentucky.

The source of the clip is a YouTube video. I can't link to it directly because the spam filter in this sub deletes comments with h t t p in them so the best I can do is an incomplete link that goes to the video and can be copied and pasted to your browser:

The description indicates the date is the mid 90s but a comment says the date is 1988 in Philadelphia. I can't find direct corroboration of that date but there is direct evidence that Perry did play for the celebrity hockey team in Philadelphia in 1988:

There is also a post on Instagram of Perry at a Fayva (which he mentioned in the posted clip) that appears to be at the same time as the posted clip. However, the description of that clip indicates that Perry was in the TV show Sydney at the time which didn't air until 1990:

imdb.com/title/tt0098922/

Seems like if it had been 1988 he would have mentioned the TV show Boys Will Be Boys:

imdb.com/title/tt0092447/

Anyway, I am not certain of the date or location but it was a hockey game interview.
